Cheez Slyces

It seemed like a good idea—or maybe a funny idea—at the time but this was going sideways fast.

Why Your Knee Hurting Isn't Indicative of Progress

The world seems to be doing better all the time. Sure, there are things we can work on but it looks like what we've been doing so far is working.

Being offended is a choice. Just like it’s a choice to live your unrealistic truth. It’s okay to live in a fantasy world of discomfort but why would you want to? And don’t be surprised if no one fun wants to join you there.

The Breakfast Club of Social Media

Social media isn't wildly different than high school in the 80's—it's just faster with a ridiculously large student body to navigate.

Prepping for the Great Resignation

The choice is yours. Either learn to work remotely efficiently and prioritize your finite willpower or go back to dealing with angry, stupid, entitled people looking for you to placate their rage at someone else. For peanuts.

I Was a Teenage Space Billionaire

I built a city in the desert.
Lithium and plastic and dry cellulose.
Autonomous flying cars.
Drone-delivered impossible everything,
Nourishing our body-positive bodies.
Streaming, bingeable Obama-produced documentaries
In every remote classroom.

There was even a monorail.

Finding the 'Bad Apples' Just Got Easier

The question in this suggestion is, if it is a number of 'bad apples' spoiling the barrel, how do we identify them before they cause homicidal harm?

Looks like the pandemic has exposed them.

Commitment

The next part I'm not really sure of. I don't know if she was trying to drug me...or if one of the local neck beards was trying to drug her.

Has there ever been a king named Simon? Because that seems like a good name for a king since everyone must do what Simon says.

Swimming in Bullshit Without a Floatie

Brandolini’s Law (a.k.a. the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle) which states that: “The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.”

I Believe... [Sadism is Not a Virtue]

…that our pleasure in the pain of others—even those we deem deserve the pain—while common and instinctual, is really not a quality of which we should be proud. Sadism makes us all a bit less.
